Civil War doctors called it hysteria, melancholia and insanity. During the First World War it was known as shell shock. By World War II, it became combat fatigue. Today, it is clinically known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a crippling anxiety that results from exposure to life-threatening situations such as combat.
Brought to you by the award-winning team that produced "Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq," this HBO Documentary Films presentation explores the lingering effects of combat stress and post-traumatic stress on military personnel and their families throughout recorded American military history. Beginning with the Civil War, the film examines occurrences of PTSD through two World Wars and Vietnam, as well as recent cases involving soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drawing from personal stories and first person interviews with veterans; letters and journals; photographs and combat footage; and insightful conversations between James Gandolfini and top US military personnel, "Wartorn: 1861 - 2010" brings urgent attention to the invisible wounds of war.
With suicide rates among active military servicemen and veterans currently on the rise, the HBO special WARTORN 1861-2010 brings urgent attention to the invisible wounds of war. Drawing on personal stories of American soldiers whose lives and psyches were torn asunder by the horrors of battle and PTSD, the documentary chronicles the lingering effects of combat stress and post-traumatic stress on military personnel and their families throughout American history, from the Civil War through today’s conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
